problem for the democrats and especially biden has been tax prices. listen to what joe biden said about gas prices yesterday. since elections, we ve taken gas prices down. today the most common price for gas in america is $3.39 down from over $5 when i took office. he said it was down from $5 when he took office. 2.39 biden s first day in office. today at $3.76 a gallon on average in america. i know it s a little pricier. where you are, the only problem the democrats have is everyone knows it s a lie. in the last week of gotten gas in northern california wine country 6.59 for regular. closer to san francisco airport, i paid 6.99. when i got back to florida, i paid 3.49 for regular so 3.99. the average american sees this. giving them back their money,
down from over $5 when i took office. those numbers are just way off. gas was not over $5 a gallon when he took office. it wasn t even close. it was lower. it was 2.39. he also said the average is 3.39 right now. it s not. it s higher at 3.76. and all this also contributes to another problem, as temperatures drop, costs for home heating are rising. for natural gas up 28%. heating oil up 27. electricity up 10. propane up 5. and this is all having a real impact on growth. the real g.d.p. is just barely inching up nowhere near the growth this chart shows on the screen from previous quarters. look at the facts, when i took office the economy was in ruins. my predecessor was the first president since herbert hoover, not a joke, to lose jobs in the entirety of his administration. peter: the white house is telling us now where president
let s move forward. you are always so thoughtful anyway. you went deep there with me and i appreciate that. president biden is botching some statistics on the economy. i don t know we re breaking news here but it is true. it was during a campaign stop in upstate new york while trying to boost the campaign of governor kathy hochul and other democrats. watch. president biden: the most common price of gas in america is $3.39. down from over $5 when i took office. my republican friends in congress need to be hoping for a recession. economic growth is up, price of inflation is down. harris: according to aaa the average price of gas when president biden took office was $2.39 actually. and today s average is $3.76 per gallon. president biden has been hitting this talking point hard recently. here he is again yesterday. president biden: if i don t vote to reduce social security and medicare, if i don t support
to a slowing economy. we hear it from ceos now. we re in the middle of third quarter season we re not getting good guidance. the job numbers will catch up with the recessionary numbers and we ll see those numbers change in a big way in the coming months. bill: back to your suggestion about petroleum, oil, gas prices here is the president on that. paints a rosie picture of sorts. president biden: gas prices are continuing to go down. because they are going down we re making serious progress in getting prices close to what they were before the pandemic. bill: okay. so $3.76 a gallon today. february of 2020, $2.45. and still much higher than where we were when joe biden first entered the oval office, i would point out. gasoline prices have been pressured lower because the
office and today s average 3.76. but who cares what the price of gas is. we got electric school buses, people. who doesn t love a yellow school bus? right? can you raise your hand if you love a yellow school bus, right? just, there s something about and, most of us, many of us went to school on the yellow school bus, right? and it s part of it s part of our experience growing up. it s part of you know, an anostalgia and memory of the excitement and joy of going to school. jesse: we get it, kamala, you love school buses. we all watched what did you to joe at that debate. you know, there was a little girl in california, who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools and she was bused to school every day. and that little girl was me. jesse: oh. maybe that s why joe tapped her to be in charge of the electric
